To notice for modern poetry
they tell no stories nor for content -
have they nothing to say
for the state of affairs in society?
Is there not a fable to tell
a lesson to pass on, a commentary
for politics or economics
is it all but illusions to not speak?
So many fancifull descriptions
but isn't there a straight forward opinion
to the point - this is wrong
or could be done better like this or that?
Have the poets all but lost hearth
to hide behind the walls of mediocrocy
with academics for a language
too afraid to speak to the common spirit?
